The Cottage is a cozy open-plan house on the same property but separate from the main house. It has a lovely porch over-looking the river, which occasionally has hippo's and crocodiles right in front of the house. The river is flowing most of the year. Fully fitted self-catering kitchen. One main bedroom with ensuite bathroom and two single beds in the living area. An outside toilet with shower. Ample parking space for more than one vehicle with trailers.

Safe and quiet neighborhood with lots of large trees and wonderful bird life

Spacious and bright with a large porch overlooking the river, this is the perfect place to stay in Maun. Elizme and her family are warm and welcoming and they made checking in a breeze. Only wish we could have stayed longer!

Jennifer2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

We needed a last minute place to stay in Maun and Elizme answered us within minutes! The place was perfect for our 2 night stay in Maun. Very private - we had our own little home on the property with a kitchen, large bathroom (with a tub) and sitting area. We especially loved the friendly dogs. A wonderful home-base fro exploring Maun!

Nina2017-07-13T00:00:00Z

Very nice place and beautiful house. Elize and her husband were very good hosts. They helped me in all that I needed. Highly recommended!

Francesca2017-02-21T00:00:00Z

Loved Elizme's cottage. The cottage is enormous and tastefully decorated. Friendly dogs that enjoyed sitting on the varanda with us. Elizma was friendly and has ensured that the cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. An affordable, beautiful place to stay when in Maun. Highly recommended.

Otto is a Eco house that sits on the banks of the Thamalakane River, the gateway to the great Okavango Delta. Otto was featured in the VISI magazine (Feb/March 2016) and awarded the Afrisam 2016 Architectural Award for Natural Building Technology

Otto is an Earth friendly environment build to ensure that the natural habitat is not affected. Otto house is Rammed Earth and the 'shack' is a wooden structure connected to the house by decked walkways over a natural flowing moat. The entire property is solar powered.

Our stay in Otto House was an absolute dream. The house was even more stunning than the already gorgeous photos indicated, and we loved every minute of our time with the sweet (and very well behaved!) dogs in this lovely spot. We were actually quite sad to leave for our safari and wish we had booked several days to relax and enjoy! A must do if you're in Maun.

Wow, what a fantastic place , I cannot recommend it enough. Otto house is beautiful and relaxing, a wonderful place to base ourself for some boat trips on the delta before heading off to Moremi, Darryl was a fantastic host, and if we are in the area again we will be back

Nina2017-08-22T00:00:00Z

Darryl was great and very responsive. The home is a perfect riverside retreat.

John2016-06-07T00:00:00Z

Otto House and Shack is unique and a great alternative to standard accommodations in Maun. Overall we really enjoyed our stay however communication needs to be improved! The GPS directions on AirBnB will not get you there. It took us 3 hrs to to find which ruined our plans for the day. We couldn't reach Darryl and didn't have an alternate contact. There was also a lovely lady who waited all day for us to arrive (wish we had been given her cell number) ... she cleaned the property and was extremely friendly and helpful.

Trevor2016-07-15T00:00:00Z

A unique stay in a eco friendly house with stunning views amazing architecture and creativity. Maun has so much to offer and we spent close to a week staying here. Pls give hugs to Gatsby and Metsi ( the resident dogs)

The house is super convenient, quiet and safe with all the amenities you need

Proximity to shops, airport, museum, bank, cafes.

Nice cottage. Excellent location, close to everything you need. The host and her helpers were very attentive. Affordable price.

Philip2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

Centrally located, close to the airport, shops and a coffee shop. Good value for money. Try to arrive before dark, because Maun is not well lit nor signposted. Finding your way around is a bit of a challenge!

Henrietta2017-04-12T00:00:00Z

The location of this place is great, right next to Woolworths, Spa and across the road from Choppies, Bureau de Change etc. Unfortunately our stay was not so smooth. Tariro who was handing us the keys and works at the Cafe down the road was very friendly and came and found us when the taxi driver had no idea where the Cafe check-in point was. We were told the Cafe would be open late until 8pm for dinner which we had read had great food. Unfortunately when we left the house at 5.30 for dinner we ran into Tariro who said they had decided to close early - so Wimpy's it was! When we arrived none of the power was on but after a quick hunt we managed to find the mains fuse box and turn all the switches on. However, the fridge still did not work and sadly although there was milk and tea bags there was no kettle so we were boiling water on the stove. Despite clearing up our take-away meal immediately and washing everything thoroughly there was still an ants problem in the kitchen by the sink and stove. When we told Tariro about the fridge not working she shrugged it off and said maybe it would be working in the morning. We did not chase this up as we were leaving at 7.30am. The place was clean, although clearly old and the bathroom was well-worn and there was a crack in the base of the shower which old water kept seeping through. Since we were there very briefly these things did not matter so much, however we would not stay again.

Natasha2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Had a great time at Sophie's place! Great location, spacious and homey. Special thanks to Tjipo and the girls at Tshilli Cafe down the road for their help and company during our stay in Sophie's absence! There was no TV or WiFi at the time of our stay but we were told they were on the way.

Tamas2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

Very nice place in a super convenient part of Maun. We had a lovely stay here. Chipo was abailable and accommodating to us and the house is very clean. The kids were very happy with the wifi as well. I highly recommend this place.

BAKANG2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

Wonderful central location. Remarkably quiet. Friendly and helpful host. Perfect place to stay when passing through Maun. We could walk to all shops and restaurants we needed. We really felt we absorbed the atmosphere of the place and enjoyed the relaxed dusty Maun lifestyle more by having our own little cottage.

Susan2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

The washroom is clean and beautifully decorated of stones. The little dog couldn't stop barking but otherwise everything was great. Thanks!

Diva and Raj are incredible hosts! Excellent communication before and during the stay. They went above and beyond to make my stay a comfortable one. Private and quiet/serene location. Walking distance to the airport and downtown Maun. I was in town primarily for work and they helped facilitate transportation and provided recommendations for places to eat and activities on days off. Spacious apartment. Tea and coffee in the morning. Great deal!!!

Nicolaus2017-06-08T00:00:00Z

The hosts are very friendly and kind and hospitable! The rooms are clean and tidy. Definitely a place I want to stay at again.

Several cottages are available on this property which is surrounded by electric fencing.

We are a family of four adults, parents and two adult children, and we were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation and surroundings. It is located in a quiet area, within 15 minutes walk from the main part of town. We were the first occupants of the newly constructed cottage which is situated in the same compound as the main house. The cottage is nicely finished with all the necessary facilities and amenities. There are a few small issues to be dealt with including mosquito nets, additional shelving in bathrooms and the inclusion of a barbecue. Alison and Steve were very friendly and helpful with an extensive knowledge of the region. All in all, we were very happy with our stay.

House is an individual cottage which has two bed rooms and an open upstairs space area to chill. i listed this as private room 2, because sometimes a couple needs only one bed room. so they have access to use one room,and it helps them to cut down cost.if they are more than two guest they have to book entire place and they can use two bed rooms.

Great place to base yourself in Maun. Walking distance to shops, very safe area, locals seemed very friendly. Nice bathroom with plenty of hot water. Deck upstairs to view river. No kitchen, but tea and coffee making facilities. Shared with one other guest bedroom which was fine. Nice hosts.

I stayed at Michele & Luow's for one night before a safari in the Okavongo Delta. Michele was extremely helpful with the logistics of my arrival, booking a taxi for me and even checking to make sure the atm would accept my card. She went above and beyond, providing snacks and drinks in the kitchen, and even bringing over a home cooked meal, which was so nice after 18 hrs of flying. The place itself is just as pictured and the landscaping is lovely. I think the cottage would be great for a longer term stay as it has a nice living room and kitchen as well as good Wi-Fi and even DSTV. Just be aware that it is not in the middle of town, it's about a $3 taxi ride from the airport. However, Michelle provided taxi numbers, delivery suggestions, restaurant recs, and even a cell phone to make local calls. I highly recommend this place is you find yourself in Maun for any period of time.

Michele' place is a lovely cool oasis in an otherwise rather hot and dry Maun, when we were there. The cottage is clean and very comfortable and it was lovely to sit outside and watch all the birds in the garden. Michele is a generous and welcoming host who offered very helpful advice that was much appreciated and some of her home cooking that was delicious.

A lovely cottage in a tropical garden in Maun! Jan and I recently stayed for three nights in the ´garden cottage´ . What a perfect place to unwind and to use as a home base while visiting the area of Maun. Michele, Louw and their lovely housekeeper Matilda were the perfect hosts. They made sure our stay was superb. They were so warm and welcoming! Loved meeting them. Our cottage was immaculate and so comfortable, we even had a little electric stove for a warm room on a winter evening. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us. Thanks Michele for all the information you mailed us and for the reservations you made for our daytour to the Moremi NP and the sunsettour on the river. Kind regards for all of you, Jan and Ita from the Netherlands

Marie-Christine2017-05-13T00:00:00Z

We so looked forward to our trip to Botswana. The positives about the cottage were that it was very central to everything we needed before heading out to the bush and Tjipo was a lovely neighbor that helped us. However, getting the keys when we arrived proved difficult as they weren't at the location we were provided, we also didn't have international roaming to phone (the good people of Botswana were great in helping). The cottage is lovely but we did experience a big ant problem during our stay. After heading into the bush for 8nights we were booked to come back and spend an additional night at the cottage (16th April 2017), however, when we arrived there was no one to welcome us and give us the keys. We then left and tried to find someone to assist us. We finally contacted Sophie who told us we could get the keys from the cottage. When we arrived we had discovered that Sophie had double booked the cottage, we were left without a place to spend the night, very stressful! We were furious. At 5pm on Easter weekend we were left to find accommodation (thankfully we hadn't yet paid for an additional night at Sophie). The "Old Bridge Backpackers" and "Maun Rest Place" were amazing in assisting us.

Carmantha2017-04-09T00:00:00Z
